DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS
Christ took away our infirmities and bore our diseases. Mt. 8:17
Job 7:1-4, 6-7, Psalm 147:1-6,
1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23, Mark 1:29-39
Job 7:1-4, 6-7
Dear Love, Beloved of my soul,
Poor Job's life was filled with misery because of the many tragedies that befell him one after the other. He believed God had abandoned him and he would never know joy again.
But we too ought to know that we are only pilgrims on earth. We ought not to get caught up in this life rather our whole being must yearn for our true home which is with You. The days allotted to us may seem dreary and filled with sorrow, sickness, loss, grief, and with good things as well. But we are to remember that we were not created for the world but for God and for Him alone. Everything we do, everything that occurs in our life, must prepare us for the Kingdom of Heaven.
Psalm 147:1-6
Dear Love, Beloved of my soul,
Praise is on the lips of those who love you in all circumstances. It is not dependent on anything - the soul that loves You is constantly aware of You, lives in Your Presence, does all things only to please You. The soul that has experienced Your love, knows that You overshadow it always and exults with joy even in the midst of sorrow and hardship. Knowing in whom my soul has placed its trust, knowing that You are love and compassion, goodness, kindness, and mercy, it yields to You always and looks to You to heal and bless. You are great and mighty and yet, You look upon me, Your poor, frail, weak, sinful nothing and You love me extravagantly, passionately, infinitely, and forever. Thank You.
Almighty God, You who know the number of the stars and have given each its name know me as well more intimately than I know myself.
